"Doomsday Clock" is a song by Smashing Pumpkins, and is the opening track on their album Zeitgeist. Reminiscent of the opening tracks of Gish and Siamese Dream, it starts off with a brief, energetic drum solo. Although not released as a single, the song charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Pop 100, due to digital sales.
It was released on iTunes for immediate download along with the pre-order for the album on June 19, 2007.
It is also included on the soundtrack for the 2007 Transformers movie. The song appears twice in the film: once as an instrumental-only version during a climactic action sequence, and the second time as a song over the closing credits.
The song's original arrangement was described by Jimmy Chamberlin as "folk/calypso" and was eventually slowed down and made much heavier for the recorded version.[1]
In early 2008, "Doomsday Clock" was licensed to the professional wrestling outfit Ring of Honor for use as the theme song of the taped pay-per-view, ROH Undeniable.[2][3] It was also used in a trailer for The Incredible Hulk. It is also now used in Monster Jam as the theme song for a truck called Wrecking Crew.
